From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A sculptor who teaches at the Prince of Wales Institute of Architecture appeared in court yesterday charged with stealing human body parts for use in his sculptures.
Anthony-Noel Kelly, 41, a cousin of the Duke of Norfolk, was remanded on unconditional bail at Horseferry Road magistrates' court. He has been charged under the 1994 Anatomy Act, which prohibits the use of body parts for anything other than medical research and orders that parts must be given a proper burial after three years. Mr Kelly, from Brixton, south London, was arrested in April following raids by police on addresses in West London and Kent. He did not speak during the five-minute hearing.
Neil Lindsay, 24, from South London, faces a similar charge. Both men have been bailed to return before magistrates on 26 September.
